    Sparkle Colors Released Again

    I've seen a few pop up on eBay. When did they start doing this again? I might have to put in an order.

    There were a number of new colours introduced a few months ago. That one is Olive gold I believe. They're not been marketed as "sparkle", and in some pics you don't get quite the same effect.

    But that looks so cool. Classy yet ostentatious.

    Nope not sparkles thats the new olive gold cool color all the finishes with some sort of flake in them can look like sparkle depending on lighting and camera, i bought a sapphire black Silo bass from Pete and if I take a picture indoors under artificial lights it looks like a sparkle, outdoors not so much, nice axe though, that color is really growing on me

    That is such a great color. It's definitely my favorite of the new 8.

    Couldn't agree with you more, A.J.

    I'm really leaning towards ordering a JP7 in Olive Gold. Hmmm...

    Hmm...possibly. The thing that will determine me going for the rosewood neck is whether or not I can come up with the deposit in time.

    Does anyone have a pic of this guitar color where it doesn't look like the older sparkle guitars? The flake is so pronounced in those shots! You're right about the angle and lighting though. I've owned a few sparkles and it makes a huge difference. That dealer has a few others on eBay that seem to have more flake to them than normal.

    That dealer seems to be good at - how shall I say it - over glamming up photos of guitars. I saw a purple BFR Luke they had on ebay where the contrast on the body was photoshopped up so high it looked neon!
